Abstract
THE larger text-books of chemistry have generally been devoted to describing and roughly classifying the facts which form the foundation of the science. These facts are so numerous, varied, and important, that when one has spent years in arranging, cataloguing, and reciting them, his chemical vision has generally acquired a fixed downward direction, and he is almost unable to lift his eyes from the foundation-stones to look on the buildings which other workers have been raising.
